Morbidly Cool Website: The 'Impact Catastrophe Calculator'

Following up my recent post on the Ultimate Black Swan, if you're curious about how much damage different types of asteroids would do if they struck earth check out the 'impact catastrophe calculator'.

You can customize your asteroid along the following parameters:

• Diameter - a prepopulated list gives asteroid sized options such as a school bus, the Empire State Building, or the London
• Density - i.e., ice, porous rock, iron, etc.
• Impact Angle
• Velocity
• Surface type struck (i.e, sedimentary rock, water, etc.)

A brief video showing your asteroid careening for earth plays, which is then followed up with a damage report detailing the crater size, etc.
